Description
Compete until the core is toast. Move on from some dumb deals and bring in some speed/versatile skill for a new 3rd line. Take advantage of the RFA's to keep the 4th line cheap. Not sure if Killorn would sign for that, if not I'd replace him with Zucker.

3rd line is physical, fast, skilled, and versatile.

Jarry's injury troubles have become too much. Taking a chance on Korp although that might be too much. Market sucks anyway.

    I like Killorn but I'm not sure how him and Malkin would do. They both have the same type of speed though. Killorn imo is like the slot guy. Geno I think can feed him

    I honestly think I'd rather have Zucker, but when I went to change his salary it wouldn't let me sign him again, so I just picked Killorn. I think he would work well in our top 6 with Geno and Rakell though.

    Doubling down on being older isn’t taking us anywhere.

    Gee, you can do better than trading a second or a middling 4.9m Garland. Gee try to sign UFA Compher for $ 4.5m

    You act like age = production. It doesn't. Good players make teams good.
